Auction House Series
For the majority of my time playing World of Warcraft I’ve been dirt poor. I don’t have an epic flying mount on any character, I struggled to get any of the best enchants and gems, and never really had any “spare” gold.
Recently I’ve been playing the Auction House and I’ve been doing fairly well to say the least. I started with about 150 gold on my bank character and after a few of months I’m now up to about 7,000 gold. In addition to this gold, I’ve also been gemming and enchanting any new gear as I get it, which isn’t taken into account in these numbers.
Once I reach 10,000 gold I think I’m going to finally buy epic flying on my warrior. I think I’m the last person in World of Warcraft to not have this.
I’ve been doing this, mainly by just flipping things on the Auction House. I use auctioneer to find something priced very cheap compared to the market value, and if I think I’ll be able to sell it for the market value, I’ll purchase it and try to make some quick gold.
I don’t consider myself to be a “master” at auction house, however I think this is something that I would like to talk about on a regular basis, so I’m going to start a series of posts dedicated to discussing making gold in World of Warcraft. They won’t all come out in a row, and I don’t know how many of them there will be. I know there are plenty of sites, guides (free/paid), etc about this topic, so I don’t want to dedicate this site to only that, but it is something that I’d like to talk about.
What do you guys think? Has this horse already been beaten enough or does it actually sound interesting?

I don’t have an epic mount either, then again I hardly do anything in-game except running from auctioneer to mailbox and back.
Note: I only play app. 20 mins to 1 hour per day

I play about an hour a day. Each morning I sign in to my bank alt and check my mailbox, check the Auction House for any deals and do any postings that I need to do. Then I switch over to Sarama and run an random heroic.
I was actually thinking earlier that I probably don’t really NEED epic flying. It would just be nice for those off chance times where I go gather ore.

As a mage, and flight speed now at 150%, I don’t know if epic flying is all that important anymore.

I agree epic flight isn’t necessary I have it on 3 of my chars, but my recent alt even with flight speed at 150%, yeah I want my epic flight. I would like to hear more about what items specifically you were able to flip, or what you have noticed has some of the best turn around on AH.

Gold is fairly easy to get. Always pick up Mining/Herbalism to get upto 5-8k of gold. Then powerlevel some other profession that goes with those skills. Mining – JC, BS, Eng || Herbalism – Alchemy, Inscription.
Most of those can make you gold day by day.
